SOME OF THE BEST 9/11 DOCUMENTARIES
By Toney Atkins
I urge readers who have not seen them before, or even if you have, to catch some of the best documentaries made about the historic attack on America on Sept. 11, 2001. They are being televised today (Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013) on the National Geographic channel.
While disturbing in their content, these are programs that should not be missed for their historic value as well as providing thoughtful insight as to why an underlying fear of terrorism, why our nation has lost many of our privacy rights and even the comforts and innocence we might have felt before the hijacked jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a failed attack attempt that saw passengers of another flight take down another group of terrorists, losing their own lives as the plane crashed and was essentially pulverized in a field.
Many of today's youth were too young to understand everything that was going on at the time and why then-President George W. Bush sent us to war in Afghanistan, a conflict which continues 12 years later and threats of further terrorist attacks from abroad continue to mount.
These documentaries should be educational musts, and youngsters should be allowed to view the backgrounds and the horrors of the day that changed America in so many ways.
NOTE: The History Channel will televise 9/11-related documentaries, all worthwhile, during the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, Sept. 11.
POSTSCRIPT: Most of he documentaries are available on DVD from the National Geographic and History.com websites. Many can also be viewed on Hulu and Netflix.
The following is from my personal trivia page at www.toneyatkins.com :

POSTSCRIPT: Most of he documentaries are available on DVD from the National Geographic and History.com websites. Many can also be viewed on Hulu and Netflix.
The following is from my personal trivia page at www.toneyatkins.com :
--MY RECOMMENDED "MUST-SEE" DOCUMENTARIES: Ken Burns' "The War" miniseries, PBS, DVD; "102 Minutes That Changed America" (9/11 revisited, History Channel, also on DVD; see recommendation below); "WWII in HD" (documentary miniseries, History Channel, DVD; "The Perilous Fight: America's World War II in Color" (PBS documentary miniseries); "The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination" (National Geographic TV); "Woodstock Now and Then" (History Channel documentary).
**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIEWING: "102 Minutes That Changed America" -- Intense, moving, sometimes graphic documentary from the History Channel in which films, photos and recordings from unique and rarely seen or heard archives chronicle the terrorist attack on New York City's World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. There is no narration, there are no actors, just the voices and sounds of the people who were there when hell suddenly erupted. The film makes for high drama and horror, because it was real. Some of the visuals could have come from a sci-fi movie's special effects department, but these were stark reality, and the images are spine-tingling. If not recorded on DVR or VHS, this should be must viewing for the younger generation who might not fully understand the significance of 9/11/01 and those who believe that we should never forget the awfulness of those terrible minutes which changed America and the world forever. (Small children should watch only at the parent's discretion, because the images and intensity could prompt fear and nightmares.) The documentary, which is more dramatic than most fictional Hollywood movies, is occasionally repeated on the History Channel network. It is also available on DVD from the History Channel web site ( http://shop.history.com/dvds-books/index.php?v=history_dvds-and-books&fbst=80 ) and, at least until recently, on Netflix and Hulu. The movie should be in every patriotic American's library and shared with family and friends, especially students of history. -- Toney Atkins

BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA LANDMARK ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED IN SEPTEMBER
CIVIL WAR BUFFS TAKE NOTE: The Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park in northwest Georgia will be alive with War Between the States history in September during the observance of the 150th anniversary of the famous Battle of Chickamauga. Tours, re-enactments of the battles, and many other events are being planned for the several day occasion. More information is available at the links below, borrowed from all of my blogs, to simplify your search, If you know anyone who is a Civil War history enthusiast, you might want to share this blog post with them. The battlefield is between Fort Oglethorpe, GA, and Chickamauga, GA, which are south of the bigger city of Chattanooga, TN, known by many as the “Scenic City.” – Toney Atkins

Walk Through Time At Chickamauga Battlefield Is Sept. 14-15 - 07/08/2013 - Chattanoogan.comToney Atkins comments: Anyone who wonders why I've posted so much about Chickamauga, GA, doesn't know (or probably even care) that I proudly call it my home town. I grew up there, graduated from Gordon Lee Memorial High School and later enjoyed some of the best years of my life teaching many terrific youngsters in grades five through seven at Chickamauga Elementary School (1967-1971). After teaching another year at North Rossville (GA) Elementary School, I vacationed in Florida, where I essentially was handed my first job in journalism, starting as a police reporter, progressing to entertainment writer and editor and then to county and city editor at a mainstream newspaper.
I lived in Chickamauga for 29 years and occasionally still yearn for the good old days of small town life where the living was relatively carefree, moved at a leisure pace and was full of Southern hospitality, drama and comedy.
I'm amazed at how much of the town/s history that I wasn't taught when I lived there, but learned about recently. Maybe my teachers tried to inform me, but being a typical kid, I simply took for granted the atmosphere as it was at the time, while every day, I was walking on or driving through a hallowed land that was jam-packed with history, a battlefield where much violence was wrought and much blood was spilled.
The upcoming observances of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Chickamauga during the Civil War excite me and I want to share that excitement. If you want to visit a small Southern town steeped in history, I encourage you to see Chickamauga.
(The famous Civil War battle was named not for the town, but for Chickamauga Creek. The area was known as Crawfish Springs during the War Between the States. A once clear spring flows from a small cavern just east of the Gordon-Lee Mansion, a plantation built before the war which still stands an historic landmark. The water from the springs eventually flows into Chickamauga Creek.)
